More like $165/month

I frequently listen to my coworkers/mutuals list how many streaming services they have and how much they cost a month, leaving the proper maths to only to the listeners because they won't hear the real bill.. I had to quit one that cost "only" 19€ per month because I wasn't able to afford it anymore!

Isn’t Pirate Bay loaded with ads?

Not when you're using Firefox with uBlock Origin. Don't use any pirate sites without a good ad blocker.

Thanks to "arr, I haven't had to even look at an indexer in years. I don't miss manually trolling for torrents.

If there's nothing to watch then don't subscribe to four different services. Streaming gives you more say in which channels/services you get than cable does.

aand that's exactly what we do 😜

Option C is to just go without, but apparently I'm the only fool doing that

I mean nobody is going to give you a medal for doing it so why deprive yourself?

The feeling of smug superiority is its own reward.

More like the feeling of not contributing to the problem, if anything I'm worse-placed for not knowing "general culture" references

Yes, you are. /s
